At just seventeen years old, Beverly met the love of her life, Marvin Lewis Hankins. Together they built a life centered on family, raising their daughters Marva and Marjorie and creating countless memories that will be treasured forever.

Throughout her life, Bev pursued her passions with enthusiasm and heart. She helped operate a dance studio, designed costumes, organized community performances, worked as a caregiver and CNA, and later discovered a love for painting and leatherwork. Her talents were many, but those closest to her would say her greatest gift was caring for others.

Shell held a special place in Beverly's heart. The years spent here with family, friends, grandchildren, and her sister Marjorie brought her tremendous joy and some of her most cherished memories.
